"No one wants to hear me now talking about refereeing decisions if you lose 3-0 at home to Forest, said the Liverpool head coach. I should look at myself first and my team, but it does show you how a goal can change the momentum of a game. Before I was just waiting for us to score a goal. Afterwards we hardly created anything. Of course there is a way out, especially with the quality players we have."
"No matter if you win or lose when you look back you are always thinking: Where can we do better, where can we adjust?' but that is something else from doubting yourself. I want to emphasise I am responsible for the current losses. You are responsible when you are winning but also responsible when you are losing. I can never come up with enough excuses for us to have the results we have. That is far from good enough and I am responsible for that."
Liverpool suffered a sixth defeat in seven Premier League home games, slipping to an eighth loss in 11 matches in all competitions after a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. Forest, in the relegation zone before kick-off, recorded their biggest win at Anfield in history. Alexander Isak was again anonymous and Liverpool questioned the legitimacy of Murillo's opener. Arne Slot made no excuses, took responsibility for the results, noted how a goal shifted momentum and admitted his tactical choices, including attacking substitutions, affected the game's flow. Slot insisted there remains a path out of the slump given the squad quality.
